For years, S., originally from India, was trafficked and exploited for labour in an Indian household in the Netherlands. At the same time, S. was convicted for the manslaughter of a baby that was also part of the household, which occurred during the human trafficking experience. The case raises important questions about the role of the non-punishment principle in cases where trafficking victims also become the perpetrator. What is more, in this exceptional case the question took central stage as to whether this principle can also be applied when the offense commit- ted falls in the homicide category. This article focuses on these questions and also aims to demonstrate the influence that convictions of trafficking victims can have on other decisions they are subject to.
